At Book Expo America, CD Baby president Brian Felsen interviewed the Peabody award-winning journalist and media analyst Brooke Gladstone. Gladstone hosts NPR’s On the Media and is co-author (with cartoonist Josh Neufeld) of The Influencing Machine, a book about the relationship of press and society.
In this clip, the two co-authors talk about their collaborative process, what the word “impossible” means, how an illustrator and writer can influence one another, and how occasional prose pages can work to diversify graphics-heavy books.
Chris Robley splits his time between the Portlands Oregon and Maine, always longing for the other. He plays music on the West Coast and writes poems on the East. His music has been praised by NPR, the LA Times, the Boston Globe, and others. Skyscraper Magazine said he is “one of the best short-story musicians to come along in quite some time.” Robley’s poetry is forthcoming in Prairie Schooner, RHINO, Pacifica Literary Review, and The Fine Line.
